This notice informs all National Electricity Market Registered Participants, Metering Service Providers, Intending Participants and interested parties that AEMO is conducting the first stage of National Electricity Market Rules consultation on the Service Provider Compliance Assessment and Deregistration Procedure.
AEMO invites comment on this procedure under consultation.
The procedure has been updated to facilitate the implementation of the AEMC’s Final Rule Determination: National Electricity Amendment (Provision of Metering Data Services and Clarification of Existing Metrology Requirements) Rule 2010. The key features of version 41 of the Rules include:
- The creation of a new service provider category of Metering Data Provider, including the accreditation, registration and dispute resolution processes to be applied.
- The transfer of responsibility for metering data services to the responsible person for all connection points except where the Transmission Network Service Provider is the responsible person. For these connection points AEMO will retain responsibility for the provision of metering data services.
- Creation of service level procedures in the Rules that will apply to Metering Providers and Metering Data Providers.
- Changes to metering data terms for consistent application across the Rules.
- Restructuring of clauses in Chapter 7 to facilitate a more coherent organisation of the Rules pertaining to metrology.
The scope of this consultation relates to
a) consequential update of the Service Provider Compliance Assessment and Deregistration Procedure in respect of the new and changed Rule clauses in chapter 7;
b) change to a four level beach process;
c) amendment to the style and layout of the document text; and
d) changes and amendment of ‘language’ to remove ambiguity and provide added clarity.
